WOOD COVERS / LASER CUTTING
A little grain.
A lot of character.
Bring wood grain, texture, and your own design to BusyBox. Start with the cutting pack, then make the finish yours.
MAKE YOUR OWN / 3 MM WOOD / REV B
Cut five simple parts from 3 mm basswood or oak. The revised 214 × 100 mm front fits over our unmodified magnet frame, with a centered 156 × 58 mm opening.

View dimensions & assembly
Cut five parts: one 214 × 100 mm front, two 214 × 25 mm long walls, and two 94 × 25 mm ends. Fit the ends between the long walls and glue the walls behind the front. Overall size: 214 × 100 × 28 mm.
Fit the frame: print it at 100% scale and leave the ends intact. The 208 × 94 mm interior gives about 1 mm clearance per side. Dry-fit on your BusyBox to align the display opening and set the frame depth.
Place the magnets: use the printed frame to transfer their exact positions and match its pockets. Check polarity before fixing them. The orange marks show the four corner areas, not drilling coordinates.
Remove the assembly from the device before bonding. Use adhesive suitable for wood and your printed material; let it cure before fitting the cover.

Tap either photo to enlarge. Design inspiration: the cutting pack uses a rectangular front; this shaped outline and logo are not included.
